Reflections of a worship arts pastor.

Sunday Night Thoughts

As I write a cold front is making its way through Northwestern Pennsylvania. We have had some very nice days here in October. Tomorrow we face a different reality. However, there is no snow in the forecast. Our low tomorrow is forecast for 42 with a high of only 50. Tuesdays low will get us into the 30’s, but a warmup by the end of the week.

This past weekend we had James home for Fall Break. It’s always good to have him home. The last couple weeks have been sort of crazy, so I’m hoping this week is a bit more normal. We did have a great time of fellowship with the Eldred area churches on Tuesday. I led the musical worship and brought the devotional. We have a great group of churches here in the area.

This week, we head to Hamburg, NY for our monthly Leadership Development. We are learning about the craft of preaching. Pam and I enjoyed last month’s preaching seminar and even tried some new ideas as a result.

It was a good day here at McCrae Brook, even though several of us struggled with playing our instruments. I led the congregation in “Beautiful Saviour” by Stuart Townend and struggled with playing it correctly. The message went well as I preached on being a generous people.
